Jordan W. Carter - A Young Artist's Guide to Fearlessness

Let's get this understood off rip
Do not fear expressing yourself on a music tip
And if the criticism gives your mood a dip
Remember even Prince got songs niggas skip
They be like can you please go and turn to Purple Rain
But that's the same shit that give a artist hurt and pain
Still there's no damage to my spirit long as I am music making and creating I'm a get it no kidding

Cause I'm so multifaceted with passions to exhibit
Ballin' on my pivot but I been fly I never quit Quidditch
Check my swag we can run a scrimmage
My ancestors them was probably drippin' back at KMT
Not a hotep but I know best
Work my move and keep it cool I don't want no stress
Shoutout my boy Jean-Luc for motivating me to spit
Now I mean every word of this I'm too legit to quit
There's no such thing as future only a series of presents
Right now's the revolution I don't think I want to exit
Just being black is a protest allegory that's why my regular story so celebratory
Like now y'all can come and listen
To these Lincoln Terrace Park mixes
So pop a squat rest your ass
Then pour a drink grab glass gather round

Let's get this understood off rip
Do not fear expressing yourself on a music tip
And if the criticism gives your mood a dip
Remember even Prince got songs niggas skip
They be like can you please go and turn to Purple Rain
But that's the same shit that give a artist hurt and pain
Still there's no damage to my spirit long as I am music making and creating I'm a get it no kidding

I had went from smokin' nickels
To havin' that break like pumpernickel
Movin' ahead up out of limbo
And making a legacy for my kinfolk
This ain't nothing that'll fade to grey
Or waste away like time spent debatin' the fake
If face to face with them I wouldn't have none to say
Just thinking who would even let them niggas past the gate
I'm on my way out to the check I'm never fashionably late
See me I always come prepared like the pastor's plate
Custom Atlanta Hawks jersey I'm my only competition
Easter to Easter I keep becoming more of a leader
And singer with the soul of a senior and rapper's demeanor
Just check out all my new releases I'm gone always stay consistent
Away from prison but it's gone be some risks you gotta take
To stack that money real tall baby dis is how we play
It's a blessing I'm receiving even from breaking even
So just like Cousin Stizz was sayin' Every Season My Season so I'm singing

Let's get this understood off rip
Do not fear expressing yourself on a music tip
And if the criticism gives your mood a dip
Remember even Prince got songs niggas skip
They be like can you please go and turn to Purple Rain
But that's the same shit that give a artist hurt and pain
Still there's no damage to my spirit long as I am music making and creating I'm a get it no kidding
